For an artist coming of age as the Wall came down, it was a sidelong approach to politics - but the work is political nonetheless. Tillmans is a radically democratic and curious photographer, picking the sublime out of the everyday: those friends and lovers, but also foamy ocean waves, fruits. Far from it: Tillmans came up in the early 1990s, shooting his pals in Berlin’s fashion and techno scenes when each of those worlds was in the throes of real revolution. The Berlin-based Tillmans is a big-deal photographer who shows in museums and galleries. The bodies of work by the 48-year-old from Remscheid and the 28-year-old from Louisiana share an ethic, a value system. Because Frank isn’t just one of Tillmans’s subjects. “With this Apple appliance,” a voice drones as we watch Frank’s Apple-exclusive movie, “you can watch a live video.” Very cute.īut there’s something more interesting going on here. Sam Schube : Four years since Channel Orange, and the first thing we hear from Frank Ocean is a song about iPhones written by the German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans. So our staffers went track-by-track on this sucker. But forget the technical details (we’re pretty sure you stripped those screws, Frank) and commercial semantics, and remember what Endless is: a Frank Ocean album. Ocean has also released two other albums, 2011’s Nostalgia, Ultra and 2012’s Channel Orange.Frank back! Four years and a couple of short-circuited livestreams later, our favorite aspiring zine-maker has returned with Endless, a 45-minute “video album.” He’s promising another album, maybe even this weekend. Ocean last released two singles in March 2020, “Dear April” and “Cayendo.” Six years later, Blonde is currently on the Billboard 200 dated Januat No. His 2016 album, Blonde, topped the Billboard 200 albums chart dated Septemand spent an impressive 295 weeks total on the chart. The 35-year-old artist was originally booked to perform at the 2020 pandemic-canceled edition of the festival he made his Coachella debut on a side stage in 2012. The 2023 edition is slated to run on two consecutive weekends, from April 14 to 16 and then again from April 21 to 23. Ocean is also set to take the stage at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival alongside fellow headliners Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK.
Back sides of the posters from the recent Blonded merch sale tell a narrative that’s as close to an album announcement as we’ll ever get from Frank Ocean.
